I produced this video profile on Tahir Johnson, a Trenton canna-business owner who received a social equity grant to start his business after a long history of being targeted in his own neighborhood during the marijuana prohibition era. After this video was released on Governor Murphy’s social media pages, Tahir was asked to be a special guest at the Governor’s budget address.

I’ve helmed a series of legacy videos to highlight the accomplishments of the Murphy Administration. I created this video about the maternal health legacy of New Jersey, featuring a mother and baby who benefited from Family Connects NJ and an interview with the First Lady of New Jersey.

To showcase the Murphy Administration’s legacy on voting rights in New Jersey, I filmed, edited, and produced this video, which included interviews with Lt. Governor Way, Henal Patel from the Institute, and Antonne Henshaw, who was incarcerated for decades. I interviewed Antonne for almost an hour, creating a comfortable space for him to share his story.

For the Governor and the State of New Jersey, I produced, filmed, and edited this video about Abdur, who, decades ago, was incarcerated and has since worked to help incarcerated individuals find jobs post-release. His service was recognized with a pardon by Governor Murphy. I worked with the NJ Department of Corrections for this video, filming at their facilities with an incarcerated individual. After this video was released, it was reposted by the REFORM Alliance and the Last Prisoner Project.

I produced, filmed and edited this video about Jacob, a Direct Support Professional, who works in a group home with Marty, an adult with disabilities. This heartwarming video showcases their amazing relationship and the importance of the State of New Jersey’s wage increases for DSPs like Jacob.

One of the initiatives of the State of New Jersey has been to promote the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, “Rev250.” My goal as a video producer is always to go deep on one story (micro) to represent something larger (the macro.) For Rev250, I profiled Pete and Ben, father-and-son re-enactors who have bonded over this pastime since Ben was born. I produced, filmed, and edited this video entirely myself. It was co-posted with @NJGov and the NJ State Parks account.

While scrolling TikTok, I found Billy, a barber who specializes in children on the  autism spectrum or with sensory processing issues, and was moved by his mission. I single handedly created (filmed, lit, edited, etc.) the video, filming it on a professional set-up vertically for TikTok and Reels. After it was posted on NJGov’s platforms for Small Business Week, it became one of NJGov’s most viewed Reels/TikToks ever.

I produced, filmed (along with Rich Hundley III) and edited this video on the cranberry bogs of New Jersey. We immersed ourselves in the environment, getting into the bogs to capture the multi-generational family story. We used many different cameras for this video, ranging from a drone to a Go-Pro to the Sony and Canon cameras we were wielding, all while trying not to fall into the bogs.

In honor of the NJ Governor’s Mansion and the First Lady of New Jersey hosting Día de los Muertos for the first time, I was asked to create a video and take photos. For this video, I was a one-man-band, executing this whole video myself.

This video exemplified “finding the story” as I highlighted the Target Zero Law, which aims to prevent traffic deaths in New Jersey. I only had an hour to film and interview these mothers before the bill signing. I had to find the story while also being tactful with how I approached this sensitive subject. For this video, I produced, filmed, and edited it, utilizing archival footage.

For the State of New Jersey (@njgov), in honor of New Jersey celebrating the 250th Anniversary of being the “Crossroads of the American Revolution,” I produced this WIRED-inspired video featuring Princeton Battlefield’s Interpretive Specialist answering user-submitted questions.
